Citywide

Have you considered a Citywide? If you’re planning a large-scale meeting, think about utilizing the local venues across Downtown Portland from bars and breweries to event spaces and hotels. Spread your group out across cobblestone streets and the working waterfront. This type of meeting is coined a citywide when a convention or meeting “takes over” the town it’s being hosted in. Hence the nickname, a small town takeover where your attendees can make the city their playground.

Small Market Meeting

There are some big benefits to booking small. Portland and its surrounding areas are fit for events of any size (see below), but being a small destination means all the amenities of a larger-scale metro area with the charm and easy navigation of a tighter-knit community.
